Wednesday June 17, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Homers by Phil Roof and Mike Hegan paced the Brewers to a 5-1 victory over the Orioles, who suffered the fourth defeat in their last five games. The Orioles scored in the third when Don Buford singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Frank Robinson.

Roof tied the score with his homer in the fifth. Dave May, making his first appearance in a Brewers' uniform, hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth to plate the leading run against his former teammates. Hegan then clinched the decision by hitting a three-run homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
